What could be better than a plant-based cheesecake with rosewater and black sesame seeds?
Seriously yum!
This cheesecake has the most deliciously delicate flavours (thanks to the rosewater) and creamiest texture (thanks to Cocavo).
This cheesecake is vegan, GF, & RSF so you can please anyone with any dietary requirements.
Seriously yum!
Use Cocavo Original variant as a setting agent for this cheesecake. It makes for a soft, creamy texture and doesn’t affect the desired pink colour of the cake or delicate flavour of the rosewater!
Here is the recipe:
BASE:
• 1 cup oats
• 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
• 2 tbsp black sesame seeds
